Sending our wishes to Barnaby’s friends and family at this extremely difficult time #WeAreSomerset Nice mark of respect from Essex and Somerset cricket clubs before the start of play this morning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that we are not that far off what Surrey need to chase down, but I don't have as much faith in us as I do in Surrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Harmer and Overton having a longish face to face chat at the wicket. The commentator suggesting it was a friendly chat, I’m not so sure. Would love to have heard the convo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't dwell on it too much, As you say the game was over ages ago. The second innings encouraged me a little though, wouldn't have been surprised at a total of around 100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit apparently the slowest in FC cricket in England, suppasing.. his own record Jamie Smith scored his in approximately 300 fewer balls yesterday!

Midred Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 17 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: So, what with Craig O yesterday and the two Toms today, we shall no doubt be receiving a letter of apology from the umpires’ assessor - or does it not work like that in cricket? In all seriousness, though, why were we even facing that last over? A few balls before the end of the previous over, Tom K-C was adjusting his pads, and surely one of the two Toms could have changed their gloves, especially as we had already gone past the minimum over requirement. Now we know that if the scores had been reversed it would have rained from lunch time on day three til the end of day 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 There was something inevitable about this match from the moment Essex won the toss. They would score a shed load of runs, we’d struggle under the pressure of those runs then we’d bowl and bat much better but the game would already be lost. I think we’ve seen this pattern before a number of times but when we get a game where we start on the front foot then we’re easily capable of winning. Fair play to Surrey, that’s an incredible run chase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Was reading something this morning about how Lawrence is very much still in the England management's thoughts, Stokes sees him as a potential captain of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
